R.I.P.

I wasn't really planning on writing this blog, I was
just scrolling through Tumblr and I was looking at all the cool pictures
like I always do. But then I came across the picture below and it's just
crazy to think it's been that many people in two years, with plenty more
not reported or blown up on social media. Just taking the time to look
at the picture, which I wish I knew who made it so I could give them
credit for, just reminds you of all the senseless killing that's going
on.

I'm not here to talk about what's going on, I'm not
here to get into a debate about what we should be focused on. In the
wake of the Mike Brown decision and the Eric Garner decisions, I just
want to take the time to just pay some respects to people lost to police
violence. A lot of these people were parents and children to someone who
will never get to see them again. This isn't even close to the number of
people that lose their lives in this country due to unnecessary and
unjust violence. Will this ever end? Maybe, one day it will, but for
now, I'm just going to pay some respect to my fellow brothers and
sisters that are no longer here.

As this year closes out, I really hope that things
will change, I really do. I know it will be counter productive to say
that things probably won't, but one can hope. But like I said, until
then, let's just take some time to ourselves and think about these fine
people. Then take some time and spend it with your family this holiday
season, because at the rate things are going these days, you never know
when your time is going to come.

Any feelings on any of these cases of police
brutality or just violence in general, leave them in the comments below.
